It was wonderful tonight to get back to my art group for a quick
one hour.  I've been sick for a month and so missed seeing everyone.
The model Kwesi, was wonderful.  I painted over a painting of the
tulip fields in the Netherlands, which didn't work as a painting, but
m ade aninteresting background.

As I've explained before my husband drops me off at  my art group
at 7:30, and picks me up at 8:30.  That of course means that I don't
have a lot of timeto work as setting up takes about 10 minutes, cleaning
up and packing up another 10, and there were two 10 minute
breaks for the model.  So I think I got this painting sketch done
in 25 - 30 minutes. I love being with the people there.  They are
funny, and wonderful artists.

Kwesi was super, we had a good talk in one of the breaks.  He
is from Ghana, and hasn't been home in 7 years. His name in Ghanaian
means "born on Sunday," and I told him so was I. We were lucky
to have him model for us.  Thank you.

Have a loving your life day.
